Inspect element is not working properly. Will this be fixed? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-ucHgQ2PvQ
I'm having the same issue. For now, you can click the first icon on the left of the devtools top bar and then click on the element you want to inspect.
Hi! Just a heads up that folks from the dev tools team will be monitoring this thread and are on-hand to answer questions. We'll try not to thread sit too much. :) In brief, the Developer Edition is a new release channel for Firefox, replacing Aurora (our pre-Beta channel). Everything else about the release cadence is the same. There are four major new features here: 1. The Firefox Tools Adapter ("Valence"), which le…
Seriously, FF without treestyle tabs IS NOT USABLE, and treestyle tabs breaks now and then in Aurora. Having such a layout actually being supported would be very nice.
As a long term Aurora user, a working profile switcher that actually respects resetting the default profile to the usual one would also have been nice.
Here's the prettier link to download: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/
I believe this is the stub (~400Ko) Sniffing my laptop gave me this http://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/nightl... Felt weirdly generic since the name didn't indicate any special edition, but I ran it and it says developer edition. ---- tl;dr In case someone needs an offline installer, grab that url.
I think it really should not prompt to be the default browser when you launch it (and maybe never show this prompt like Chrome Canary). A colleague had a weird race condition (I guess) with this prompt + the "how-to" overlays and Firefox Developer Edition stopped responding to clicks 3 seconds after launching it… Kudos for using a different profile than the classic Firefox/Nightly :)
At installation, there's also a checkbox to set it as the default browser, and it's pre-checked. I think, even full-time web developers wouldn't want to set it as default, and Mozilla should retain themselves here.
I've always used the bleeding edge Aurora and Chrome, have never had substantial problems with that.

I'd recommend using Firefox Sync to store your preferences and keep it synched across all your foxes.
I understand this is an option, but it's super frustrating that the FF profiles mechanism wasn't built the right way from the ground up. There are significant advantages to having all your config in dotfiles beyond just keeping everything in one place: easy branching, getting rollback for free, human-readable diffs, etc.

A simple way to edit Host: header so that it doesn't necessarily match the url host part used to get to the site. Debugging name based virtual hosts configs via editing host files is a huge pain point for me.

Developer or not, I have long waited for the possibility to: 1. Store bookmarks in "unsorted bookmarks" by default when I use ctrl-D. This option lacking, my bookmarks menu is so much cluttered that it is useless. 2. Edit bookmarks comments, with ctrl-D. 3. Query bookmarks and tags precisely (a bookmark with tags t1 and t2 which title contains regexp r).
Today, with small hacks, I manage to search bookmarks and trigger web search through the address "awesome" bar. But a bit of syntax like in w3m.el would be so much better.
I should try to prototype it in an app. These functionalities should not be very hard to implement. But it seems to be too much of a burden :(

This is almost certainly caused by an extension. If you use Firefox with few or no extensions (e.g. 1Password doesn't cause problems) you'll find this doesn't happen.
Although badly-written extensions do cause a lot of problems, please don't assume they cause every problem. It's not always true and comments like these give the impression that Firefox developers simply pass the buck every time somebody complains. Having said that, if someone is experiencing bad performance and they do have extensions enabled, temporarily disabling them is a good diagnostic step. If performance impr…
